Tarver apologizes for gesture

Raiders defensive coordinator Jason Tarver, caught on camera giving NFL officials an obscene gesture, gave the following statement Monday:
“I apologize for my action on the sideline of yesterday’s game. It was in the heat of the moment and I regret drawing attention away from the Raiders players and what they accomplished.’’

On the play, officials originally threw a flag on cornerback Mike Jenkins for a blow to the head. The flag was then picked up, and there was no penalty on the play.

Whhaaaaa that was a real cry baby answer…..answer the man he asked you a question!

NFL will still come down hard on our DC.

I think the defensive players should pony up for Tarver’s fine, as a show of solidarity.

you sure do know that we didnt win that game and would have won had Jano made that first FG. That you know. But keep on being in denial.

Gdog

I agree… there was no reason for Ford to be on the field because anyone paying any attention to his career could see he shouldn’t even be in the NFL.

But the only reason we lucked out and won was because the kicker missed two chip shot FGs… the roll-up-into-a-ball and hope the other team screws up offense will not cut notches in a water pistol for most good NFL teams…

Gdog

So you agree that the best way to win is not throw ANY passes because they might get intercepted?

SnBG

Yep, O almost gave it away. Allen was right shutting them down.

aig

Bro, KC is winning with Alex Smith. The Niners won with Alex Smith. All they asked him was dont eff it up on the O side. As for the missed fgs, I’ve been victimized by Jano so often that I can careless about the other team missing its fg.

That prikk retired ump commish what’s his name was so fast to report it. Rayda hatin’

Papertiger

Of course he has! He’s a Raider.

Tom Jackson still has nightmares about what the Raiders did to him back in the day.

Sir Raider Duck, OMS

Not at all. You go conservative with a second-half lead because that’s what will work most of the time. “Woulda coulda shoulda” means nothing. WE WON. We take the lessons learned and move on to a very winnable Philly game. And if Pryor has not improved his consistency by the end of the year, we’ll have our answer as to whether he’s our QB of the future or not.

Gdog

You want me to post all the blow out wins NE has had over the years or something? Gawd your sycophancy makes you say some stupid things…

The great teams go conservative and STILL blow out their opponents. We’re just not there yet.

Here’s a hint that will increase your enjoyment of football: Care more about winning than “being right.”

And yet certain people here want to blame Deuce.

Raider O

I’ll take him even if he was going to get suspended. 6’4 220 WRs than run 4.4 and can catch don’t grow on trees.

Scourge of the East

Are we supposed to be upvoting again?

Raider O

It’s more risky to draft a WR in the 1st or 2nd

Papertiger

Thanks, broseph!

Gdog

I DO care about winning. These obvious B:LUNDERS need to be FIXED damnit. You only care that nobody on the Raider staff receives ANY criticism… Olson would lose that game 9-10 times rolling up into the fetal position like that.

He just hit the lottery with the FG kicker… you refuse to acknowledge it because of your sycophancy.

HexChrome

Raiders could have won 50-0 and some people would be complaining that they didn’t score during halftime. People like to complain.

SnBG

In this situation yes, yes we do.

Gdog

How will we know? They are not letting him do anything… unless of course we are down by three TDs,.. in which case he is dead in the water.

Scourge of the East

Yuppers.

Purvisman/Eternal Optimist

Oh, HeII no!

Gdog

It helped for one short term prolly meaningless win… but nobody is doing Pryor any favors by making him roll into a ball and hope the other team screws up.

He needs to learn to finish teams off on his own.

I cannot believe I am even arguing this…

Scourge of the East

OK, just checking.

HexChrome

I’m a big Pryor supporter and I have to agree with you. At times, seems like 1 step forward and two steps back. However, we cannot ignore the leaky o line and the affects that has on a young qbs mind. He completes his drop and immediately starts feeling the rush. They need to call more plays to negate this. Quick posts, screens, or let the tight end sit on a hitch.

Gdog

Lol… Alex Smith has been starter for like TEN YEARS. They knew his limitations coming in. We are not doing Pryor any favors by making him roll into a ball and hoping the other team screws up. Sorry.

This is a crazy argument…

Purvisman/Eternal Optimist

I don’t care. Nor do I know if I care. or if it matters. what was the question? Honey, where’s my Malibu rum?

SnBG

That’s the same old argument made about Pryor not getting to play last year. He wasn’t ready last year and he’s not experienced enough now and hasn’t proven to be a clutch QB yet.

Gdog

Have you ever played any sports? You don’t learn how to play in the clutch and finish games off by rolling into the fetal position at the end. You learn it by actually PLAYING THE GAME.

If Pryor tossed up endless int’s that were his fault to lose that game, so be it… at least he went down SWINGING.

Good gawd… the rope-a-dope Raiders??

Lets win by everyone on offense cowering in fear!!!

Purvisman/Eternal Optimist

Kooky will have to earn his future upvotes. I predict a downward trend.

SnBG

They did let him play and he screwed up. Pryor is not ready to do this yet in that type of situation.

Purvisman/Eternal Optimist

Good attitude. With Pryor as QB, bad strategy.

the electrifying dr robert

Lol. Yeah that dudes gotten punched a few times. Guaranteed.

SnBG

I’ve seen Zep 3 times. Does that count?

Gdog

How so? Are you blaming Fords ridiculous fumble on Pryor or something?

If so, there is no reason to argue with you… you have Pryor Derangement Syndrome.

Gdog

I am not ready to throw him out as trash yet. Why are you?

rioderek

A long drive for a TD after Ford almost cost us a possession

rioderek

Yeah we have to WAIT for McKenzie to go out a get better players. Pryor can’t pass to himself, can’t block for himself, or rush for all the yards.
